National Instruments PXIe-8375 PXI Remote Control Module

The National Instruments PXIe-8375 (Part Number: 781040-01, 186800C-02L) with the MXI-Express x4 for PXI Express connection allows the user to control a PXI Express framework from a PCI Express x4 opening or higher. Then, they can utilize National Instruments desktop servers and servers, Dell or Hewlett-Packard workstations to control PXI Express frameworks. MXI-Express x4 for PXI Express highlights a completely straightforward, high-data bus capacity, cabled PCI Express connection where all PXI and PXI Express modules show up as PCI sheets inside the PC itself. However, the user will benefit from the expanded number of slots, power and cooling per slot, module selection, and synchronization highlights given by PXI Express. The device has a requirement of 1 PXI Express system slot for operation. It has a MXI bandwidth of 1 GB per second.

The MXI-Express x4 for PXI Express connection comprises of an NI PCIe-8375 board in the PC that is associated by means of a x4 MXI-Express fiber-optic link to an NI PXIe-8375 module in slot 1 of a PXI Express chassis. With the fiber-optic NI PXIe-PCIe-8375 unit, the user can electrically disconnect their PXI Express estimation equipment from the PC with extended length cabling up to 100 m.

This PXI Remote Control Module offers a multichassis PXI Express framework interfaced to a similar framework PC, allows the user to create star, tree, or daisy-chain setups, can connect up to 8 PXI undercarriage to a similar framework PC, has a System PC that can be a NI installed controller or a PC, and has a software-straightforward connection that requires no programming. The device hardware is installed using the PXI Platform Services software which includes the NI-DAQmx and NI-VISA drivers.

The NI device weighs 0.37 lb, and measures 3.9 x 6.3 in. in physical dimensions. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 to 55 °C, a storage temperature range of –40 to 71 °C, a noncondensing operating and storage humidity range of 10 to 90% and 5 to 95% respectively, and an operating and non-operating random vibration of 0.3 grms and 2.4 grms respectively–all at a frequency range of 5 to 500 Hz.
